Sorry to be away for ages, and then write something so brief and to the point, but Adam, if you're about, please could you grab me an YP? I'm salivating after reading some of the academy products of you guys - Looks as though YP allocation is getting a bit more generous. Plus Ideally I'd like a back-up allrounder to support my new signing, Steve Cash, as I don't think that anyone is going to be able to play regularly in both competitions, let alone an allrounder.
If you're still up and about Ad, my academy has dropped to strong, so please could you repair it for me - Then please could I have a 17yo with 11 bat, 11 bowl, 4 Stam, 3 Conc, 4 Cons and 2 field?
Will write more soon, but I thought I better post this before Adam goes to bed, if he hasn't already.
Later, Trev

Trev, if Adam isn't around, and if you trust me enough, I'd be willing to do it for you, my email address is blah blah blah

Rob, cheers mate, and it's not at all that I wouldn't trust you to do it, it's simply that Adam, being a MOD, has some kind'a clearance from BT powers to go in my account. I'm just not sure that I wouldn't end up landing the pair of us in a whole heap of Cardiff City if we tried it. Which is why you've got to be really careful with your transfer dalliances too Paddy!
Hey to Aussie Dominance, the only one of you miserable gits who missed me! He's my mate now, lay off him Mark or you'll have me to deal with. The last cricketer who crossed me ended up with salt in their water-bottle and vommed on the pitch!
BTW Rob, , Can I vote for you and the other Cwers standing for election? or can you only vote for your own country's manager

Haha no worries. But yes, that's correct, these are U19 manager elections and you can only vote from your own country's U19 team. Also, don't worry Trev, I do enjoy your reading your posts, I'm waiting a full report on your foray into Lords

Well, just in case 'er Indoors' reads this, I'd ought to start by saying that the most important thing which has happened to me in my absence is my nuptials! (Although I think we probably know the truth!)
The wedding was an absolute ball, and married life is pretty much the same as co-habiting life, except there's more bills and less nookie! )In case 'Nookie doesn't cross the Pacific very well, it's UK slang for copulation!)
But in the other (most) significant event to occur in the last month, my club were indeed victorious at the home of cricket. We lost the toss and were put in, posting 180 A/O off the last ball of our allotted 30 overs. I was slightly disgruntled to learn that after a strong showing with the bat in the last month or so, I'd actually been shunted down the order for the final. However, seeing as our captain was also my Best Man, (Not to mention the fact that he's 6Ft10 <about 210CM> and 22St <160-odd KG>), I didn't moan all that much! Let's just say that I was the only man with a small smirk at the corners of my mouth as we had a bit of a late -innings wobble when attempting to push the RR along. At this stage I'd love to say that I ate a banana and morphed into Abdul Rasak (Excuse spelling), bludgeoning a fifty off the last few overs. Although sadly I'd be lying, in actual fact, I came in in the 28th over, hit four singles off my first four balls, before getting comprehensively cleaned up off my fifth, bowled Middle stump…Um…Whilst attempting to lap the quickest bowler in the country around the corner!!! Not my proudest cricketing moment - And my comedy dismissal, off the first ball of the last over, precipitated a capitulation of monumental proportions! In the next five balls we lost three wickets for five runs!
But with a competitive, if not huge, score on the board, we set about our opponents with gusto, and after a scintillating spell from our openers, we'd pegged them back to 15/1 after 7. The pressure of RRR then began to tell, and we soon had them 39/4, with both the England and South Africa captains back in the hutch. Bizarrely, at this stage we completely lost the plot! With the oppos on their knees, we just couldn't hammer the final nail into their coffin, entering what our coach calls a 'Frustration Circle', we allowed them to get to 99/4 after 19 - Not a commanding position, but certainly one from which they could have won.
However, the twentieth over of the match proved the pivotal point. Their No.6 hit a powerful sweep which our keeper went chasing after, with me in hot pursuit from Short Leg - Though neither of us could haul it in before it reached the Fine-Leg boundary. Four was signalled, and as the Wickie and I trudged breathlessly back to the crease, we noticed that the stumps had been broken. The following conversation went something like this:
TV - What happened to the stumps?
UMP - What are you asking me exactly?
TV (Cottoning on to the fact that something strange was happening here!) - Um…How's That I guess!
UMP - Out, Hit Wicket!
Up went the finger, followed by an animated gesture to the scorers for four runs to be taken off the total - Which caused such confusion and toing and froing of numbers, that we actually managed to crash Lord's electronic scoreboard for the remainder of the match, apparently they don't like going backwards! It seems as though what happened was, in the act of executing the sweep, their batsman also swept his leg-stump out of the ground - But because nobody'd noticed it and appealed, the umpire was supposedly powerless to raise his finger.
In the same over we also ran out No.7 and 8, 99/4 became 103/7, and there was no way back. We eventually bowled them out in the 27th over for 126 and duly got to repeat our tradition of each having to down as much lager as could be held in the Cup, (Roughly three and a half pints or two litres), in less than a minute, before being allowed back on the minibus home!
Right, I'll put this up for starters, then get typing about developments in the world of BT. I know this should really go in OT, and I promise you, I am working through the 'Introduce Yourself' thread, but with work and the wedding, it's taking me a long time. In the meantime, I hope you'll forgive me my customary trespass off-topic - And if not, blame Rob - He asked!

Congrats Trev, both on the win and your wedding. International honours surely beckon?
Had a foray into the transfer market myself, probably overpaid, but the wage was pretty high and he's a decent back up.

Had a look at him, but the price was too high. A decent enough number six though. Incidently he also has the same name as the best player I've ever played against.superkingdave said:

Nice. Got thumped nice and quickly in my league match, am hoping to keep fitness for the FC fixtures. Bowlers put up a fight though, which is good to see.
